Side project turned startup?! 😮 : Share Your Startups

Side project turned startup?! 😮

omg, so I started this lil project just for fun, right? It’s an online tool where small businesses can manage their social media all in one place without breaking the bank. But now it’s picking up and I’ve got 100 active users already. Hadn’t thought about it, but someone suggested I should take this to the next level. Is it too soon to think about making this a full-time thing? What’s the threshold here people??

This is your moment! 🚀 Trust your gut. If you believe in your tool and see the potential, what's stopping you? Secure at least 6 months of living expenses and a clear growth strategy. If you got that down, take the leap and don't look back. Fortune favors the bold!

That's dope! But before you take the plunge, think GROWTH. You've obviously got something that attracts users; now focus on marketing strategies, user retention, and monetization. Maybe part-time your current gig if you can, it'll give you more freedom to focus on scaling without the risk of total freefall if things don't pan out.

100 users is nothing. Do you even have a business model? Or just chasing vanity metrics? Run it by us when you've got something substantial.

Look before you leap. Keep it as a side project and gradually invest more time as you grow. The transition to a full-time venture isn't to be taken lightly. Assess the competition, demand, and most importantly, financial forecasts of your project. Only go full-time once you've secured a stable and growing income, not just user base.

100 users and you're planning to quit your day job? That's jumping the gun if you ask me. Unless they're all paying you a decent rate, slow down. Scale it up, find sustainable income from it, then think of going full-time.

nice one on the user base! look, IMO the threshold's when u feel confident and ready to eat, sleep, and breathe your project. if it's all you think about waking up and going to sleep, might be a sign. just check your finances cause jumping in without a cushion is tough. and think about funding. would you bootstrap or go for investment?

Hitting 100 active users is a solid start, congrats! Taking it full-time depends on a few things tho. Can you cover your living expenses? Is your growth consistent? Do you see a clear path to monetization? If you can check these boxes, start planning your transition. But remember, it's not just about user numbers, revenue is the real game here.
